It is difficult to reconcile the statement that Dr. Holohan cares greatly with what we heard last night. I say that because I would find that a considerable challenge.

With regard to what the gentleman from RCOG referred to as the "remarkable coincidence", and it really is, would Dr. Holohan use that word? I will ask Mr. McCallion and Dr. Holohan if they would use that to describe what happened, in terms of the two most prominent campaigners happening to be the women where the error was made. The words "remarkable coincidence" was used. Would Dr. Holohan agree with those words?
